National Assembly · Morning Sitting

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 42g, I would like to ask the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) the following:

Thank you. Hon. Gonzi Rai go ahead. Sorry. Just take your seat for a moment. The Question by the Member for Tiaty, will go to the

Departmental Committee on Education and Research. I do not know whether Hon. Melly is here? Okay, Hon. Malulu.

The Chairperson will invite the Principal Secretary next week. I believe after that we will bring a report to the House. Thank you.

This Question is directed to TSC not the Principal Secretary (PS) .

Sorry. He will invite the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TSC.

Okay. Hon. Makali.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to say something in relation to the Question which Hon. Kamket has forwarded to the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. This matter cuts across the whole county and not just the arid and semi-arid areas. It is a national problem. I wish the Departmental Committee on Education and Research takes it up urgently with TSC. This matter i…

Thank you. Hon. Gonzi Rai.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation regarding the status on implementation of Mwache Dam Project. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Mwache Dam Development Project which is located on the Mwache River in Kwale County is a crucial develop…

Thank you. The request for Statement will go to the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation. I saw Hon. Kangogo sometime earlier. Hon. Dorothy are you a Member of that Committee?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I can see the Chairperson is not around. I am a Member of that Committee. I will pass that information and promise to give a reply in two weeks’ time. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you. Hon. Gonzi Rai, you just…

[(Hon. Gonzi Rai spoke off the record)]

Hon. Temporary Speaker, this matter is very urgent. As at now, the works at Mwache Dam have stopped. Let them give timelines so that the works can continue. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Dorothy inform Hon. Kangogo on the urgency of this matter. I am sure Hon. Gonzi Rai can engage him as he waits for formal engagement at the Committee level.

Thank you, I stand guided. I want to assure the Member that this will be looked into. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Chepkonga.

Hon.

The general import of this Motion, withou…

just to allow the House to debate the Supplementary Estimates that will be moved under Order No.11. I urge Hon. Members to support this because it is purely a Procedural Motion. I request Hon. Robert Pukose to second.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to second the Procedural Motion to exempt the business appearing as Order No.11 from the provisions of Standing Order 40 (3) being a Wednesday morning, a day allocated for business sponsored by the Majority Party or Minority Party or a committee. Thank you.

[(Question proposed)]

Hon. Oundo. Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo (Funyula ODM) . Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment. In essence, I do not oppose the Motion, but obviously, like every Kenyan will ask: What is the hurry? The Bill is already running, signed, enacted and is operational. All that we need to do is to rationalise the Budget to fit the expected revenue. We have not even concl…

This is a very straightforward matter. I do not know why there is so much interest. Next Order.

[(Question put and agreed to)]

Next Order.
